demand and supply Question 7 1 points Save Answer Consider the following labor market Labor demand: LD = ad-w Labor supply: LS = as - 2w where w is the wage, L is the number of workers, ap and as are constants Now suppose that business owners predict low sales next year so they reduce hiring and as a result, ap=70,000 and as=10,000. But in this scenario wages are totally rigid and cannot adjust this year from its original level...
Consider the following labor market Labor dernand: LD ap- w Labor supply: LS = as+ 2w where w is the wage, L is the number of workers, ap and as are constants Now suppose that business owners predict low sales next year so they reduce hiring and as a result, ap 70,000 and ag 10,000. But in this scenario wages are totally rigid and cannot adjust this year from its original level (i.e. when ap=100,000 and as10,000): find the equilibrium...
equilibrium wage? Question 6 1 points Save Answer Consider the following labor market Labor demand: Lap- w Labor supply: LS as 2w where w is the wage, Lis the number of workers, ap and as are constants Now suppose that business owners predict low sales next year so they reduce hiring and as a result, ap-70,0000 and as10,000. But in this scenario wages are totally rigid and cannot adjust this year from its orig level (i.e. when ap=100,000 and as10,000):...
where w is the wage, L is the number of workers, aD and aS are constants Suppose business owners predict low sales next year, so they reduce hiring. As a result, aD=70,000 and aS=10,000. Using the diagram for the labor market, answer what would happen to the demand and supply curves: Question 3 Consider the following labor market Labor demand: LD - ad-w Labor supply: LS = 35 + 2w where w is the wage, L is the number of...
What is the equilibrium employment level? Question 2 Consider the following labor market Labor demand: L ap- w Labor supply: LS = as 2w where w is the wage, Lis the number of workers, ap and as are constants a) Suppose that ap 100,000 and as10,000: find the equilibrium employment level L*30,000 L*35,000 L60,000 L70,000
1a. If the market's labor demand and supply functions were instead given by of LD=260-w and labor supply function of LS=40+10w, what would the equilibrium wage be? (Answer format is 35) 1b. What would be the equilibrium labor quantity? 1c. The government again imposes a payroll tax of 10%, and we will again think in terms of the wage paid by employers. What is the new equilibrium wage? (Answer format is 35.8) Round to 1 decimal place, if necessary. 1d....
2. Suppose a labor market where demand and supply for labor are given by: Ld = 1;000 25w Ls = 100+20w where w is the wage rate. Suppose that the government decides that everyone who works ought to exercise. They are considering two ways to do this, either through a payroll tax on workers of $3 per hour per worker which would then be used to provide workers with free health club memberships or through mandating provision of access to...
Problem #4: Own-price elasticity Suppose the market labor demand curve is given by LD 20- (1/2)W and the market labor supply curve is given by LS-2W 1. Graph the labor demand curve and the labor supply curve on the same graph (with L on the horizontal axis and W on the vertical axis, as we have done in class). 2. Determine the equilibrium employment (L") and wage (W") in this market. Now suppose the government implements a minimum wage (WM)...
2. Consider the following model of the labour market. where w is the wage rate, Ld is labour demanded by the firms and Ls is labour supplied by workers What condition should δ satisfy in order for the second equation to be a reasonable labour supply function (i) What condition should satisfy in order for this system to have a unique equilibrium. (iii) Assume that δ = 1, express the systemin matrix form and use matrix algebra to find the...
